I bought the tinyhawk 3 bundle a little bit ago, and now my radio won't bind to my drone anymore? Any advice or help on this?

My first FPV (3 weeks ago) was the Emax Tinyhawk 3, basically the same thing. For $300, I had a full FPV experience, plus a controller to start simulating in Liftoff. 100 flight hours later, I bought my first 5" quad. I feel like I'm way ahead of the curve and very grateful that I started here. I actually just bought 2 more Tinyhawks for my best friends to convince them to go all-in too. This is the coolest hobby ever. Can't believe I didn't find out about it sooner.

@@andriivelychko5828 I did the same thing, tinyhawk II > geprc mark 5. Went digital cause I knew I'd regret if I didn't. 20 hours in a Sim before I even touched the drone, it's still crazy. Only prior experience was insurance/programmed flight with dji phantom 4 pro. It is entirely different, and so much more difficult, but also so rewarding and freaking awesome!

Feeling this rn. Just got into drones n stuff and I’m absolutely gutted I just found out about this great hobby

as a 15 yr old i just built my first one from individual parts, honestly I loved the process, it was fun

Bardwell, these intros are awesome. More I say!

This review helped to propel me into the world of FPV. I did find that I was able to plug the controller directly into the computer and use it with a sim. I have now been flying in for a month and have been enjoying it so much that I just ordered a better pair of goggles and have been looking at other quads as well. Thank you Joshua for all you do for the hobby!

i just had to stop the video to say you really are a national treasure dude. you carry this hobby so far and get so little recognition compared to how hard you consistently creativly crush these videos. Much respect and love my friend

Thank you so much for the content:) I have been watching every video of yours for about 2 weeks now. Really trying to digest all the info there is to begin in the fpv world. Very helpful! Keep up the good work.

My husband has been flying for a few years now. Earlier today we began talking and I expressed interest in learning to fly FPV myself, but was too nervous to try with his drones. He currently has the Nazgul Evoque x5 and the Baby Nazgul. I appreciate this video and all your videos as it does help a beginner like me learn more about the hobby before fully getting into it.

As usual, a totally relevant, in-depth and extremely helpful FPV video. Thank-you Bardwell for your continued contribution to the FPV community.

Thanks for the budget in depth videos . I'm new to the drone space and found this very helpful

I built my very first drone from scratch watching your videos. Without them I would be lost.

I started with the Eachine E013 kit to see if I liked the hobby. I then moved on to a Tinyhawk2 with a Jumper T Lite. Tried a few different sets of box goggles but eventually got a pair of used Commanders. The Emax beginner quads are bomb proof

Mr. Bardwell, your videos are always outstanding and very informative. Thank you very much!!!

I've been watching you for about a month and purchased a couple of drones I'm not ready for him yet but they're real good drones so I purchased them so when im ready ( Bumblebee v3, and iflight protek 25 HD.) I also purchase this quadcopter and at first well we all know. 2nd week im flying from upstairs down stairs through the kitchen back up into my bedroom. I truly appreciate what your doing. Haven't felt this type of excitement in awhile. To be continued

You really do the best, most thorough reviews out there. A+

The acting in this video is next level. I see a shower of Emmy nominations coming! For reals tho, my neighbor bought the old TinyHawk AIO starter kit and its a great value and a great way to learn. The TinyHawk is simple, versatile, capable and about impossible to break. And the new controller is a big upgrade from the 'video game' controller they used to ship it with. This really is a top notch option for anyone looking to get into IRL FPV flying. Thanks for sharing!

Always great info. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!

Just starting to get into FPV drones and have already purchased my starting drone( tiny hawk 3 kit) but your style got me to sub instantly!

I just started fpv buying the cheapest quad I found (beta 65s). I already had to fix that thing so many times that I'm happy it's so affordable. Also, the sense of achievement is really there. Fixed my VTX, made my tune... :)

I have watched several of your videos - you are a very knowledgeable chap!!

I use to watch Steele but I like you chan best. You are down to earth and open to different ideas and drones.

Excellent video and straight to the point with plenty of extras thank you so much you just made my day I'm ordering one right now God bless you

Really appreciate this video, for a beginner this is gold. Thanks

I did an exact mix of the two satire bits at the start. Like 10 hours of sim and then an apex steele kit. Works wonderful and I have to much fun for one guy.

Lots of people ask me out in the field for a recommended product when they see me flying. I always recommend this products

Great sense of humor!

Man I would love to have this kit! I really want to get into fpv. I picked up liftoff and have been having a blast in the sim. Great review Josh!

I'm like "Think this it's simple, entertain saying it so well a little less". Genius content

Really appreciate the intro, always keeping it exciting lol. This product is not for me, but I still watched the video to learn something today! Keep up the good work!

In my sporadic decision to buy an fpv drone after a few KZread shorts scrolled across my feed, this was the first video I came across in searching for which one to buy and within seconds I made my decision. 261k subscribers, a drone guy that isn’t getting paid to advertise which one is best for beginners in his eyes, I’m sold. I just ordered one.

That intro was the perfect summation of literally every FPV Facebook group discussion that comes up about RTF kits. OMG. Lol.

Thanks Josh ! Great review !

Thank you very much. I enjoyed your video and I'm going to subscribe. You were very thorough and did not have a lot of nonsense that other vloggers have.

Thank you for the interesting review!

I actually learned on this kit 2 years ago to start my FPV lifestyle. Well worth it but a waste of plastic at this point. Glad to see them upgrading it.

Same here tinyhawk was the drone I learned to fly on

cool video! I've got into hobby with tinyhawk 2 indoor, and flying it 300 meters high until link drops - and surfing back all with huge video noise is unbelievable experience. Until one day I finally killed it.. the biggest drawback is very back radio, it affected flying a lot. but tiny 75mm pusher whoop on 2s is wild.

Yep I'm about to test it out myself lol thanks to you and of course this video lol

I'm actually super excited for the lo fidelity look of the camera for the tiny hawk 3 I ordered. It's a vibe. Someday I'll upgrade to fancy stuff so imma appreciate the cheap analog for now

I didn't need this video persay, I but know your gonna JB it up, well done!

My 1st couple seconds of this video is what my brain says every time I get into a new hobby

Fantastic video! Note to past you from future self: Without knowing better, I plugged my controller directly into the usb port and logged obligatory hours in LiftOff with no issues. The controller does need to be powered on, but not the quad copter. You obviously positively influenced the design.

Haha the first Seconds. I love it. Greetings from Germany

Great video, those different personas apply to nearly everything!

100% agreee - just send it babbby, gr8 advice, short & sweet, gr8 vid.

Okay your intro is amazing!

Going to be making my order.

Man that intro made my day JB 🤣, too much! We'll done 👍

Hilarious cuts, and fantastic review. Subbed and binging all your stuff 😅

Thank you for the informative video, I bought this based on it. At first I was apprehensive, but the more I fly this the better it gets. Next for me is a simulator and some better FPV goggles and yes it is durable, very durable😁.

The tinyhawk 2 kit that had the jumper tlite radio with it was what I learned to fly on and haven't looked back since

I'm also loving the comedy 😂

I remember buying an EZ Pilot a few years and several thousand dollars ago... Totally hooked me.

Very cool! Thank you for the great insight! 🤜🤛🇺🇲

Good stuff for someone interested in the hobby. The birdsong in the background was nice. JB in the woods!

I've been watch JB videos for days since I bought Emax Tinyhwak freestyle 2 RTF kit!!!

Thanks ! Wish I saw this before I bought a DJI phantom 4 pro v2! It wasn’t the kind of drone I wanted but 10 crashes later and figured out FPV..I’m ready to build my own now.

I was between this and the geprc Tinygo racing fpv, ended up getting the Tinygo since I was able to locally pick it up at NewBee here in SD, love it so far, I’m practicing without the goggles to get a hang of the controls, I’m on day 2 right now and my biggest challenge is the throttle because I’m used to an auto hold $25 Walmart drone where I didn’t need to worry about constantly use the throttle haha

Very good review. Start was funny. Really good info n demo onthe reviewed kit. Thank you

You would be wrong. The reason I watch your videos is because I refuse to watch TV KZread is all I watch and being A FPV homeless person I really don't have a choice I don't have a TV and I love your theatrics. Not looking to buy any thing but I might learn something today. Love your content.

Your neighbor just walking around outside singing out loud is so wholesome

What a fantastic video 👌🏻 extremely informative, I really enjoyed listening to your advice, thankyou

The joke about your neighbor singing joyfully got me 😂😂😂. Subbed

I am in tears 🤣 that intro was so good buddy! I laughed so much I snorted lol

love it)) good vid)))

Duuude, I never thought a video about an fpv drone can be so funny. Thanks.

Many beginners will struggle with the throttle control. They'll push it all the way up, the drone shoots up like a rocket, they panic and pull the throttle all the way down, the drone falls like a rock and smashes on the ground. I first started flying RC as a child with one of those IR controlled indoors toy helicopters from Air Hogs. They have a springloaded throttle to make sure it stays all the way down. My first flight was exactly what I described above. It takes time to realize that you need to slightly let off the throttle after takeoff and make very small adjustments. When it finally clicked, I instantly improved a lot.

bro.. lol this video is hilariously entertaining.. love it!

LOL I loved the intros - I've definitely seen all these personas on various online groups

Loved the intro haha

I was looking at EMAX and wondering. Thanks for sharing this one. :) Also, I'm jealous of your USB charger.

SEND IT!

Great review. I’m shopping for a analog screen replacement, this goggle screen looks really good.

I got the literadio 2 from beta fpv and it had some issues right away. A coworker of mine had some electronic safe surface cleaner and it worked wonders. No issues since with the potentiometers

Yes Sir thank you! And it's for the people who are low budget life in general..can't afford a full build race drone...

You have very entertaining content, I gotta admit I laughed out loud right from the first 60 seconds 😆

Great video

I just found this video as I was training for work (where I have to spend my day learning FPV.. how will survive???). This is by far the best video I've seen. I wanted to understand the kit they handed me, and this video taught me everything I needed to know. Thank you for going into depth (but not TOO much depth) about settings and parts, etc. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content as I continue my dive (probably literally, once I go out and start flying.. HA!) You ROCK! Cheers!

Thanks for this video man. Exactly what I was looking for to dip my toe in drones and fpv. First time flying it fpv around the house was just saw an awesome feeling I was gitty like a 5 year old at Christmas. Took it outside as fpv and I know I now have a life long addiction. 🙃 if you're on the fence get this is great, I haven't had it a full 2 weeks and just lost it (crashed right next to my house slid on pavement with a tumble and hit grass everything went blank, battery must have ejected because we lost the beeps along with the sweeps and the creeps) but anyways its so awesome I'm goin to order another one (just the drone), was hoping to upgrade the goggles but that's alright next time.

Are the batteries the same for the normal and the pro? I ordered a normal one and want to get more batteries

Best. opening. ever.

Lol at the beginning, that was me. I didn't think things through, and I built an absolute monster quad for my first. I thoroughly destroyed it on the first flight. Only salvageable component was 1 motor and prop. I even broke the FPV cam and vtx antenna. Expensive lesson learned.

I went from LOS toy quads. I worked my way up to the Dramida Vista before FPV. It was as close to what I fly now as far as a toy and you work your muscle memory and get decent stick time. The Dramida Vista can be flown in acro mode but the Wi-Fi video latency s u c k s. So, I wouldn't depend on a toy FPV quadcopter. This and what JB is talking about here was what got me flying FPV. JB is definitely the first go-to guy I'd recommend.

Sims work for the most part to give you a feel of the quad, but I have yet to find one that is true to life as far as battery life goes. That and you're not constantly walking to pick up your quads (it's exercise people 😉) that don't have Turtle mode. That by itself helps you not want to crash because most people don't want to walk to pick it up.

thank you

i must say you should have been a comedian , informative , but still fun to watch Keep it up

This is great, we need more products like this! Really enjoyed playing around with the BetaFPV Cetus Pro, and this seems like a very similar deal, with a few small (but nice) differences.

Those are quality cutscenes

Learning some betaflight, makes this soooo much more versatile.

Joshua Bardwell, you are so darn funny… those short clips are totally on point for other fpv guys/gals lol haha send it to the moon you’ll be fine😂

Thanks a lot for this video. Mine will arive in a few days. Im not bew in to drones but i am in FPV. Cant wait! Edit: I'm a truck driver I'm very good behind the wheel but so far I absolutely can't control this drone.

I have a correction for you...The controller for this kit does plug into the computer to use a simulator. That's one of the reasons I bought this kit. It works just like any other controller that way.

Fantastic flying and review, Joshua! 😃 But you know what? This radio... If it had a small screen, OpenTX or EdgeTX... And ELRS... It would be fantastic! Because it looks nice and seems to have a pretty good ergonomics! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

SEND IT!!!!

Well done JB. Very entertaining. You can use the controller with a Simulator though. The USB cord that it comes with is not sufficient (no data, only power) and you need to updated the Windows driver for it to work. With the controller plugged in, with a USB cord that supports data, go to your Device Manager in Windows and under libusb-win32 devices, do a driver update on the BETTER USB HS, and then it will work with simulators.

Gotta love Joshua Bardwell... he's the Alton Brown of FPV. ;) Thanks for all the detailed info as always!
